The 50,000-square foot Dammam manufacturing facility has been delegated as an Aramco-approved
facility for Cooper B-Line produced products, which involved passing the Saudi oil company's strenuous
quality management assessments and strict Saudisation provisions. Cooper B-Line’s presence in this
area represents a continuation of the company’s investment in the global oil and gas industry, adding
the GCC to its global coverage area that already includes offices in Korea, London, Calgary and
Houston.
